I am trying to replace an old switch but confused because all wires are red. Can anyone help.

mark which one is com and which one is l1 on each of the switches.
 
Make a note of where the wires are, and transfer to the new switch.

You can use bits of tape to mark the wires, then remove when working ok.

The terminal markings on the switch can vary.
Some old switches used to use COM and L2 for one way switching.
Now it is usually COM and L1.

Some switches don't even have COM marked on them, so use the following 'legend';

COM.......................L1
L1..........................L2
L2..........................L3
